Never had problems with mosquitos in Florida where we have bats. Just put up a bat box, and no more mosquitos. Seriously.

After all this effort, natural selection will take over and direct the progression of the genes, and all will have been to no avail.

I have come to NOT “trust the science” where the government is concerned. Largely do to the fact that I do NOT trust the government.

Mosquitoes are one of the few instances where I pray to God and ask “Why?”

Mosquitoes are one of the few instances where I pray to God and ask “Why?”

In the Old South, before air conditioning, people sat on the front porch, drinking something, while on a swing or a rocking chair for the faint breeze. If you walked by on the the street, you would see these people waving, and you would wave ‘hello’ back. Reality was, they were swatting mosquitoes.

“2.4 million”

That is the mosquito population of one backyard in Florida.

They are outnumbered by the trillions. The scientists will have to make them a super species of indestructible super breeders.
